Definitions

• the present invention relates to a method for producing an injection molded product, to a corresponding injection molded product (which is producible by the method according to the invention) and to the use of specially produced sunflower hull fibers as an additive in an injection moldable composite material.
• Injection molding methods belong to the most frequently used methods for the production of products made of plastics material or plastics material composites. Injection molding typically involves plasticizing plastics material or composite granulates by heating. To this end the respective granulate is typically filled into an injection unit of an injection molding machine which comprises a screw and a barrel. In thermoplastics injection molding the barrel is heated so that the granulate is conveyed in the direction of an injection mold by means of the screw and also plasticized inside the injection unit. The plasticized plastics material or composite material leaves the injection unit through a die which forms the transition to the injection mold. This causes a further temperature increase inside the plasticized material on account of shear forces.
• customary injection molding machines and the technical component parts thereof reference is made to the technical literature.
• the cooled and demolded product of an injection molding method is an injection molded product, the manufacturing accuracy of which depends on various parameters. Control of the cooling processes and choice of the employed plastics material in particular are decisive for manufacturing accuracy because plastics materials and composite materials undergo shrinkage of varying severity depending on the cooling rate. That is to say that molded composite materials produced by injection molding or molded materials made of plastics materials undergo a volume change without a need for removal of material or application of pressure.
• the phenomenon of shrinkage applies here in particular to semicrystalline plastics materials. It is generally the case that upon relatively slow cooling the molecules of the material molded in the injection mold fit into a comparatively small volume particularly well, while on a rapid cooling this ability is reduced so that more severe shrinkage results for relatively slow cooling than for rapid cooling.
• Packing pressure may also be referred to as holding pressure and packing time as holding pressure time.
• plastics materials exhibiting only a particularly low shrinkage behavior, or composite materials based on such plastics materials are employed; available in this regard in particular are the so-called amorphous plastics materials, among which acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is often preferred.
• ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
• the method to be specified should preferably be independent of the chosen plastics material, but due to the particular challenges associated with the use of semicrystalline plastics materials the method should preferably be suitable for producing low-shrinkage injection molded products based on such semicrystalline plastics materials.
• the method to be specified should preferably also make it possible to ameliorate or prevent problems which result from so-called sink marks in injection molded products.
• the primary object of the present invention is achieved by a method for producing an injection molded product, comprising the steps of:
• sunflower hull fibers as an additive for specific plastics materials is already known from the document WO 2014/184273 A1 which also discloses an injection molding method.
• WO 2013/072146 A1 already discloses the use of injection molding of biomaterials or biocomposites based on sunflower seed shells/husks. Plastics materials may be compounded with said sunflower seed shells/husks. The document also discloses the use of specific plastics materials.
• sunflower fibers may be mixed as an additive with a plastics material such that during automatic injection molding said fibers have the effect that the resulting injection molded product is subject to only low and thus acceptable shrinkage. It has proven essential in this regard that the sunflower fibers are produced from sunflower hulls at a temperature of below 200° C. so that constituents of the sunflower fibers remain intact during the processing procedure which even at a temperature of just above 200° C. would be decomposed to form gaseous products.
• Step (a) of the method according to the invention relates to processing sunflower hulls to afford sunflower hull fibers at a maximum temperature T PFmax of less than 200° C.; a maximum temperature T PFmax of 150° C. is preferred, a maximum temperature T PFmax of 100° C. is particularly preferred.
• the sunflower hull fibers resulting in step (a) of the method according to the invention thus comprise intact constituents which at a temperature of just above 200° C. would be decomposed and liberate gases. It is a substantial achievement of the present invention to have recognized that this potential of sunflower hull fibers (decomposition of constituents to liberate gases) may be utilized to reduce the shrinkage of corresponding plastics products.
• sunflower hull fibers may readily be dried at temperatures of below 200° C. (which is often desired), but that the constituents of the sunflower hull fibers (presumably in particular the lignin-containing constituents) do not significantly decompose at a temperature of below 200° C.
• the applicant's own investigations have additionally shown that, surprisingly, at a temperature of 200° C. or more an irreversible decomposition of constituents of sunflower hull fibers takes place, which results in the liberation of gases on a considerable scale.
• an injection moldable composite material is produced by mixing the sunflower hull fibers produced in step (a) (i.e. the sunflower hull fibers produced under gentle conditions and comprising constituents which may be decomposed even at a temperature of just above 200° C.) with a plastics material.
• step (b) of the method according to the invention it is ensured here that the mixing is effected at a maximum temperature T PCmax of less than 200° C.
• a maximum temperature T PCmax of 190° C. is preferred, a maximum temperature T PCmax of 170° C. is particularly preferred.
• step (a) it is avoided not only in step (a) but also during mixing of the sunflower hull fibers with the plastics material and thus in the production of the injection moldable composite material that constituents of the sunflower hull fibers are decomposed to form gases to a significant extent.
• the potential of the sunflower hull fibers to liberate gaseous decomposition products is accordingly also retained in method step (b) according to the invention.
• step (c) of the method according to the invention the produced injection moldable composite material is automatically injection molded into an injection molding material to afford a molded composite material.
• a higher temperature is now established so that the composite material introduced into the injection mold has a temperature T IM of greater than 200° C., preferably of greater than 220° C., in at least one section of the injection mold (preferably in a plurality of sections).
• T IM temperature of greater than 200° C.
• the lignin-containing constituents now decompose there to form decomposition gases which are embedded as bubbles in the molded composite material and thus fill part of the internal volume of the injection mold.
• the bubbles consistently remain included in the solidified composite material. In this way the above-described phenomenon of shrinkage of the molded composite material is counteracted. Based on a predetermined injection mold and a predetermined plastics material, a person skilled in the art will determine using very few preliminary tests the amounts of prepared sunflower hull fibers required to prevent shrinkage completely or to the desired extent.
• step (d) of the method according to the invention the molded composite material is demolded to afford the injection molded product.
• the injection molded product produced according to the invention exhibits only slight shrinkage, in particular compared to an injection molded product produced under otherwise identical process conditions using sunflower hull fibers obtained from sunflower hulls at a maximum temperature of more than 200° C.
• Injection molded products produced by the method according to the invention have the particular feature that they exhibit at most only weakly apparent sink marks, if any, even in the region of thick-walled parts.
• the injection molded products according to the invention have a lower component part weight on account of the proportion of bubbles in the product.
• the strength of the injection molded products produced by the method according to the invention is consistently not compromised. Since the decomposition of the decomposable constituents of the sunflower hull fibers is temperature-dependent and proceeds independently without further measures in the injection mold, the method according to the invention can produce injection molded products with shorter cycle times.
• the difference ⁇ T between the temperature T IM and the higher of the two temperatures T PFmax and T PCmax is greater than 20° C., preferably greater than 40° C.
• T PFmax is to be understood as meaning the maximum temperature of the sunflower hull fibers during the production thereof by means of processing of sunflower hulls (step (a)).
• T PCmax is to be understood as meaning the maximum temperature in the mixture during the mixing of the sunflower hull fibers produced in step (a) with the plastics material (step (b)).
• T IM is to be understood as meaning the temperature of the composite material introduced into the injection mold in a defined section of the injection mold.
• sunflower hull fibers decompose at temperatures of greater than 200° C.
• the decomposition process increases with increasing temperature in terms of rate and in terms of extent of decomposition.
• the greater the difference AT between the temperature T IM in at least one section of the injection mold and the higher of the two temperatures T PFmax and T PCmax the more distinctive the effect imparted in the at least one section of the injection mold by the use of the sunflower hull fibers produced under gentle conditions. It has been found in the applicant's own investigations that even a temperature difference ⁇ T>20° C. often brings about an effect which is surprising and convincing from the perspective of a person skilled in the art, in particular in terms of reduction of incidences of shrinkage (in particular sink marks). The effects are particularly distinct from a temperature difference ⁇ T>40° C.
• the difference ⁇ T based on at least one section of the injection mold is always greater than 20° C. when neither of the values T PFmax and T PCmax is greater than 180° C., because the temperature T IM (as defined above) is always greater than 200° C. in at least one section of the injection mold.
• the difference ⁇ T based on at least one section of the injection mold is also always greater than 20° C. when in this at least one section of the injection mold in step (c) a temperature T IM (as defined above) of greater than 220° C. prevails.
• the composite material introduced into the injection mold has a temperature T IM of greater than 220° C., preferably of greater than 240° C., in at least one section of the injection mold.
• T IM a temperature of greater than 220° C., preferably of greater than 240° C.
• the injection mold has one or more sections which define(s) a wall thickness of the product of 4 mm or more, it is particularly advantageous when the composite material introduced into the injection mold (in step (c)) has a temperature T IM of greater than 200° C. in at least one of these sections of the injection mold.
• T IM temperature of greater than 200° C.
• Step (c) of a method according to the invention preferably ensures that particularly in sections of the injection mold that define such a wall thickness of the product, at least sectionwise a temperature T IM of greater than 200° C. is achieved.
• the injection molded product preferably comprises a semicrystalline thermoplastic.
• a semicrystalline thermoplastic As previously elucidated hereinabove, the use of plastics materials which during hardening can form crystalline regions has in practice to date very often resulted in undesired incidences of shrinkage and sink marks. In the context of the present invention, particularly marked improvements in the production of precisely such injection molded products which comprise a semicrystalline thermoplastic are achieved. According to the invention it is not necessary, but not precluded either, that molded composite materials (product of step (c) of a method according to the invention) be cooled particularly rapidly to prevent the formation of crystalline regions in the resulting product. On the contrary the applicant's own investigations have revealed that the heat of crystallization liberated during crystallization advantageously promotes the release of (additional) gases from the employed sunflower hull fibers.
• the injection molded product of the method according to the invention comprises a semicrystalline thermoplastic
• the use of such plastics materials which do not form crystalline regions upon the solidification in the method according to the invention is not entirely precluded.
• the use of the method according to the invention has also proven advantageous for so-called amorphous plastics materials such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS).

• PA polyamide
• PET polyethylene terephthalate

• the injection molded product in preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention comprises (i) a semicrystalline thermoplastic, it typically also comprises (ii) bubbles generated by gases liberated from the sunflower hull fibers in step (c). It has been found in investigations of corresponding injection molded products that the volume occupied by bubbles is consistently particularly large in sections of the injection molded product which correspond to sections of the injection mold in which particularly high temperatures T IM (as defined above) prevailed during performance of the method (step (c)).
• the injection molded product comprises a semicrystalline thermoplastic
• the maximum temperature T PFmax of less than 200° C. is preferably chosen in such a way
• the maximum temperature T PCmax of less than 200° C. is preferably chosen in such a way
• the sunflower hull fibers are preferably also employed in such an amount that the injection molded product has a shrinkage of less than 1.8%, preferably of less than 1.5%, particularly preferably of less than 1.0%.
• step (a) comprises drying the sunflower hulls and/or the sunflower hull fibers.
• the sunflower hulls and/or the sunflower hull fibers are subjected to a heat treatment for drying, but according to the invention the condition that the maximum temperature T PFmax is less than 200° C. still applies.
• T PFmax is less than 200° C.
• the invention also relates to an injection molded product producible by a production method according to the invention as defined hereinabove.
• Such an injection molded product may be consistently identified by the presence of characteristic bubbles present in particular in proximity to embedded sunflower hull fibers and in sections in which the temperature of the composite material in step (c) of the method according to the invention was particularly high. Performance of above-specified preferred embodiments of a production method according to the invention results in further characteristic product properties.
• Injection molded products according to the invention are particularly suitable for use as elements of furniture, buildings and building accessories.
• the invention also relates to the use of sunflower hull fibers prepared from sunflower hulls at a maximum temperature T PFmax of less than 200° C. as an additive in an injection moldable composite material for reducing shrinkage in automatic injection molding of the composite material into an injection mold.
• T PFmax maximum temperature
• the product of method step (a) of the method according to the invention is employed as an additive and serves to reduce shrinkage during automatic injection molding.
• This aspect of the invention is based on the surprising finding that sunflower hull fibers prepared in this way provide very special properties and contribute to the specific establishment of desired product properties. Reference is made to the detailed explanations above.
• sunflower hull fibers which liberate gases at a temperature of greater than 200° C. are employed as an additive. This means that the employed sunflower hull fibers liberate gases and form bubbles anywhere in the injection mold where the temperature T IM of the composite material is greater than 200° C.
• composites were produced having respective formulations differing only in the manner of preparation of the respectively employed sunflower hull fibers.
• Composite 1 is for performing an inventive example;
• composite 2 is for performing a noninventive example.
• Composite 1 comprises sunflower hull fibers produced from sunflower hulls in compliance with the requirements of method step (a) of the method according to the invention, namely at a maximum processing temperature T PFmax of 195° C.
• Composite 1 was produced in compliance with method step (b) of the method according to the invention, by mixing the sunflower fibers produced in step (a) with the above-reported further formulation constituents of the composite (polypropylene copolymer, adhesion promoter rind stabilizer, heat stabilizer).
• the mixing temperature here was likewise 195° C.
• the composite material “composite 1” introduced into the injection mold had a temperature T IM of about 220° C. at least in individual sections of the injection mold (cuboidal cavity).
• the molded composite material “composite 1” was removed from the injection mold as a finished injection molded product and the dimensions (height, width, length) of the approximately cuboidal injection molded product were determined.
• Composite 2 comprises sunflower hull fibers produced from sunflower hulls in noncompliance with the requirements of method step (a) of the method according to the invention at a maximum processing temperature T PFmax of 220° C.
• the table which follows comprises a block “comparison” in which the mean values for “composite 1” and “composite 2” are entered.
• An additional column reports the “shrinkage difference in spatial dimension concerned”, i.e. the difference between the respective “composite 1 mean value” and the respective “composite 2 mean value”. It has been found that “composite 1” has a greater mean value in every spatial direction and “composite 2” in comparison has a smaller mean value in each case. This indicates that “composite 2” afforded an injection molded product which was subject to a more severe shrinkage on cooling; the procedure for composite 2 and the thus obtained injection molded product are not inventive.
• Shrinkage in spatial dimension concerned 100% ⁇ (mean value for composite 1 in spatial dimension concerned ⁇ mean value for composite 2 in spatial dimension concerned)/mean value for composite 2 in spatial dimension concerned
• wall thickness is to be understood as being equivalent to walling thickness
• packing pressure is to be understood as being equivalent to holding pressure
• compression time is to be understood as being equivalent to holding pressure time
• Rising desorption temperature has only a very slight influence on the hydrocarbon emissions originating from the polypropylene (PP) used (peak groups from about 25 min onward).
• the concentration thereof is relatively constant for all samples wherein at higher desorption temperatures there is an increase in the higher molecular weight hydrocarbons.
• At 180° C. and 190° C. only slight additional emissions were detectable but from 200° C. a marked increase in emitted substances was detectable. This is attributable in particular to the degassing of the sunflower hull fiber constituents, in particular to the longer-chain fatty acids still present in the hull fibers which desorb from the sample at these temperatures.
• the emissions very likely originate from the decomposition of the biomass (sunflower hull fibers).
• the expected hemicellulose decomposition products such as acetic acid, furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural, at 210° C. and 220° C. substances such as vanillin, coniferyl aldehyde and coniferyl alcohol, which may be formed during depolymerization of lignin, were also detectable.
• the increase in the desorption temperature from 180° C. to 220° C. results in around 15-fold higher acetic acid emissions and the furfural emissions increased by a factor of 40. Emissions of sulfur-containing compounds and pyrrole derivatives were also demonstrated in small amounts.
